AND KIMBERLY THE FREEZING COLD IS CAUSING MAJOR ISSUES FOR FIREFIGHTERS, RIGHT? IT CERTAINLY DID, ED. I CAN TELL YOU THIS MORNING IN WEST BRIDGEWATER THE TEMPERATURE WAS JUST 1 DEGREE. THAT CAUSED THE HYDRANTS OUT HERE TO FREEZE AND CAUSED THE WATER THEY DID HAVE TO TURN INTO ICE. THEY NEEDED WATER TO DOUSE THIS FIRE AND FAST. WHEN WEST BRIDGEWATER FIREFIGHTERS GOT TO THIS HOUSE BEFORE 1:00 IN THE MORNING, THE BITTER COLD SLOWED THEM DOWN. THE FIRST HYDRANT THEY FOUND WAS FROZEN WHICH MEANT THEY HAD TO TRY TO FIND ANOTHER HYDRANT. THE NEXT THREE HYDRANTS BEYOND THAT WERE ALSO FROZEN. CARPENTER BRAD HERRICK LIVED THERE AND BUILT THIS HOME AND DEVASTATED BY THE LOSS. HE THINKS THE FIRE STARTED FROM THE ASHES OF THE WOOD STOVE LEFT ON HIS FRONT PORCH OR HIS PICKUP LEFT OUT FRONT. MY WHOLE LIFE WAS HERE, THIS IS WHERE I GREW UP HERE, SO, MY DAD LEFT ME THIS PROPERTY AND WE BUILT-- MY SON AND I DID A LOT OF THE WORK HERE AND JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS. FIREFIGHTERS USED 2000 GALLONS OF WATER IN THEIR TANKER TRUCK AND THEN RAN 3000 FEET OF HOSE TO A WORKING HYDRANT, BUT THE FRIGID TEMPERATURES WORE ON THEM. EVERYPLACE THEY SPRAYED WATER TURNED TO ICE. THE HOSES FROZE TO THE GROUND. WHILE BRAD, HIS WIFE AND THEIR DOG ESCAPED, THE HOUSE IS DESTROYED. OBVIOUSLY WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO KNOCK IT DOWN A LOT QUICKER, BUT ONCE YOU RUN OUT AND YOU HAVE NO SOURCE TO REPLENISH WHAT'S IN YOUR WATER TANK, IT'S VERY-- IT BECOMES VERY FRUSTRATING. AND THE FIRE CHIEF TELLS ME THAT ONE OF HIS FIREFIGHTERS DID NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION. HE SLIPPED ON THE ICE AND HURT HIS WRIST, BUT HE IS OKAY.
